- 19 February 2026 | 9:30 AM–4:00 PM

Online delivery, proven effective in various scenarios, now permeates diverse programmes, offering enhanced flexibility compared to traditional formats. However, this shift poses challenges for traditional programme designers and instructors, who require training in new teaching and communication techniques.
Complicating matters further, newer generations of students interact with digital technology differently. This workshop explores the evolution of teaching and learning strategies that prioritise online delivery. It is particularly valuable for programme coordinators and faculty involved in blended or fully online programmes.
Attendees can expect to learn about:
• Best practices for designing and delivering high-quality online and hybrid business education programmes.
• Effective teaching and communication techniques tailored for virtual and blended classrooms.
• Strategies to engage students and adapt to their evolving learning preferences.
• Tools and approaches for assessing learning outcomes in online and hybrid formats.
• Insights into faculty and programme development to support sustained excellence in digital education environments.
